Ashland, May 22 -- W. Herman Fowler, the 11 year old son of W. A. Gowler of this city, was drowned in Wahoo Creek.

 

It seems that he was in company of another boy, named Smith, who had a pet dog, which fell into the creek, and Smith jumped in after it.  

 

The boy was carried away by the current, when Fowler promptly jumped in to rescue him, but was carried away himself.

 

Smith was rescued by some parties who were passing, but Fowler could not be found.
